Is it normal that in the same time filesystem package provide
/usr/{lib,bin} etc as directory whereas the pre script transform it as
symlink (according
http://sophie.zarb.org/rpms/696f0450c6b9baa8dcf088602f19c810/files).
For me they must be symlinks in the filesystem rpm.

However, something like that should not happen. Well, this should have been done for you. Did you already have run.runmove~ and lock.lockmove~ folders in /var? If so then I suspect something is killing the symlinks. I did have this problem initially too because the mandriva-clean-var-run-lock.service file would actually delete the symlinks and then some other system (perhaps systemd-tmpfiles) actually recreated the /var/run and /var/lock folders. In the latest version of the dracut script I ensured that I disabled that script by deleting the service file. Can you double check that rebooting again doesn't "reconvert" the links back to dirs for /var/run and /var/lock because if so, then there could be some other "cleaning" config somewhere that I've missed.

MCC is one of the strengths of the distribution, and the fact you can run it outside of kde or gnome is really important. A kde plugin or whatever they call it to let you run the mcc drak programs inside the kde control panel thingy might be OK, but there's a risk the standalone shell would be no longer maintained.

Yes, there were comments in the php spec file around conflicts with mpms:

Yeah I appreciate that, but I'm not going to do this update package yet. I'd rather wait and gather feedback first. All the update package would do is the same as I'm asking you to do, so the "risk" of breakage is identical in either case. I don't want to provide a package that pretends to be any more "safe" than any other mechanism. It's two very simple manual steps which I do not think is beyond the skill set of anyone running cauldron, nor does it take much time.

I forget what it is - maybe just "lilo"? As the name of the image did not change and the convertfs was added at the boot prompt rather than as an append to lilo it I did not run "lilo". But lilo was the issue. I had tried with all the kernels I had installed with no success, switched to grub using the same command at the boot prompt and the fs converted nicely.

So this looks really like the convertfs module is simply not included in your initrd. Can you confirm that your grub entry is using the latest kernel and that the initrd used is the right one? lsinitrd | grep convertfs This should give you some results. It just seems like you regenerated the initrd when not booted on the latest kernel or that you are using a non-latest initrd. Either way just work out which kernel+initrd combo you are using and regenerate it to include the convertfs module.

Booting with rw rd.convertfs rd.break=pre-pivot Using "exit" on 1st shell (output given as follows) exit pre-pivot dracut warning: Break before switch_root dracut warning: Break before switch_root Dropping to debug shell. sh:0: can't access tty; job control off switch_root:/# (end output) I type exit and the system continues booting.

Type "exit" at the first one and then you should see the conversion taking place, including any errors relating to rolling back the change and why. that should give you some clues.
